You can make a variety of plant-based milk by blending raw nuts and seeds, with water. Homemade milk is fresh, free of additives and preservatives, and you can experiment with different kinds of nuts and seeds.

Why It's So Good For You?

Pumpkin seeds are high in minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, zinc, iron, copper and essential fatty acids! You'll find they are a little cheaper than nuts that you would usually use to create your own milk at home, making it a great alternative to almond or cashew milk while still offering a whole bunch of health benefits.

Add this as a base to your smoothies, oatmeal, chia puddings or drink a glass on its own!

Hi Faye! After soaking, you can slowly roast at very low heat (150°F/65°C) in an oven or dehydrator for 12 to 24 hours (roasting time will vary on the nut you are using). The nuts are ready when they are completely dried out.

Is it possible to have a mixed-nut/seed milk?? I am wondering if that way you get access to more/diverse nutrients. For example, instead of 1 cup of cashews, can it be 1/4 cup cashews with 1/4 cup pumpkin, 1/4 cup sesame, 1/4 cup sunflower?? or something like that, just an idea...what do you think?? :)
